Afghanistan Election 2019

On September 28, 2019, several people headed to cast their vote despite the direct threats to the civilians from the Taliban Terrorists. However, the turnout was a historical low, where only around 2.1 million showed up from the 9.7 million registered voters. Despite low turnout, voting during election day was held in a “relative calm” situation, with only 3 deaths and 37 injuries occurring due to “small-scale” Taliban attacks. In spite of the low voter turnout, violence was only “sporadic.”

The election commission also resort to biometric voter verification machines for the first time, which took the fingerprints and picture of every voter and recorded the time they cast their ballot. The technical system was opted to combat the growing fraudulent instances during elections in Afghanistan.

The President of Afghanistan is elected using the two-round system; if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round will be held featuring the top two candidates.

Turnout on election day was low. The results will be known by October 17; if there is no winner, the final tally will be known by November 7.

It was a huge task to conduct Elections throughout Afghanistan in a single day. Considering the Terrain and the remote areas that are in accessible by road, sending Ballot Boxes to such remote Polling stations was the most difficult task. Donkeys were used to carry the ballot boxes to the remote polling stations not accessible by roads.

The Taliban carried out attacks to disrupt the campaign. On September 17, 2019, a suicide bomber attacked the campaign rally of President Ashraf Ghani, killing 26 people and wounding 42. Less than an hour later, the Taliban carried out another suicide bomb attack near the US Embassy and the Afghan Defense Ministry, killing 22 people and wounded around 38.

On 25-September 2019, a magnetic bomb exploded in Ghani’s campaign office in Lashkargah, Helmand province in afternoon wounding 3, including a Parliament member from Helmand, who had already lost both feet in a Taliban attack 3 years ago.

Emergency Hospital in Kabul said it received 18 wounded people from election-related violence.

Hekmatyar had claimed he was allowed to vote without a registration sticker. Afghanistan Election Commission rejected Hekmatyar’s claim. Said he was registered where he voted. Provided his registration number in a live press conference.

In an interview, General Khoshal Sadat, Deputy Minister of Interior, responded to Hekmatyar’s comments on post election chaos. “We know how to deal with chaos.”

Despite Taliban vowed to disrupt elections, warning citizens to stay home but the unbreakable Afghans responded the Taliban by casting their votes. People voted for their prosperous future and to strengthen the democratic process in the country.

It’s an immense victory of people of Afghanistan, that Afghans from every level of societies came out and voted for their Candidates.

It is a big blow on the face of Pakistan sponsored Taliban Terrorists and insurgents who chopped the fingers of voters during the previous elections. Those voters again voted with another finger. Safiullah Safi got his finger chopped by the Taliban for voting in 2014. He didn’t care about getting his other fingered chopped and voted.

In a major success of the democratic process in Afghanistan, even the Chief Justice of Afghanistan was also seen waiting in line to cast his vote.

Afghan Hero Ghazi Amanullah’s daughter Hindia also voted during the Afghan elections.

Many pictures circulated on Social media with Afghan voters showing Middle finger to the Taliban Terrorists along with all their Pakistani sympathizers.

Deputy election commissioner Ismatullah Mal was seen checking for his name on a voter list. This is the first time voter lists have been posted outside polling stations.

There were tight security arrangements on all the Polling stations. All equipment had to be sniffed by a trained dog for explosives before being allowed in polling centers.

Meanwhile Pakistan’s thousands of Twitter paid trolls were talking nothing but failure of Afghanistan Elections and corruption in the Elections. They flooded the social media with baseless charges and different rumors. It is well known that Pakistan wants to install a puppet government in Afghanistan so that it can exploit Afghan natural resources. Pakistan cannot see its neighbors prosper. Hence such negative propaganda by Pakistan and its citizens was expected.

Afghanistan at UNGA

Hamdullah Mohib, National Security Adviser (NSA) of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in his speech talked about recently concluded Afghan Elections. Some of the excerpts from his speech are: He said, “Today, I am even more proud because just two days ago, around 3 million Afghans faced the threat of terrorism and risked their lives to vote in our young democracy’s 4th presidential election. Those who voted included men and women; the very old, some voting for perhaps the last time in their lives, and the very young, those voting for the very first of many times; those living with a disability, for whom the journey was longer and more tiresome; some who came out despite having their fingers cut off by Taliban during previous votes. We all voted not just for a president, but we also voted for democracy.
We voted for our Constitution.
We voted for freedom and sovereignty.
We voted for prosperity and connectivity.
We voted for peace.
We voted for the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

He further said, “A New Afghanistan based on Islamic values, Afghan traditions, and hope for a permanent escape from our bloody past. You invested heavily and dearly in our vision for an Afghan democracy—even with the lives of your own countrymen and women—from the time when it was only an idea, to today, when you can witness those investments turned into policies, actions, institutions, principles, and people. We, the young Afghan leaders of today, have embraced democratic values and principles, the same ones on which the United Nations itself was founded.”

He also gave a warning to Taliban and Foreign Sponsors (Without naming Pakistan), “To the Taliban and their foreign sponsors, HEAR THIS NOW, a message from the Afghan people: Join us in peace, or we will continue to fight. And, as my colleague Ambassador Adela Raz said last week here at the United Nations: “This is a fight we can can win.”

“Terrorism is an idea, as much as it is a form of violence. We must continue to work together to extinguish the ideologies behind terrorism, wherever they may exist. The zero-tolerance approach that has been called for repeatedly must no longer be a talking point, and instead become an action
point. We need more institutional cooperation. We need more decisive action within the region. A strengthened collective security approach must take into account the wide nexus of transnational criminal activities as a whole, inching the the flow of terrorist fighters, their recruitment and resources that allow them to remain lethal.”
